Abstract:
4-Phenylamino-6-phenyl-pyrimidine is a common core structure of several, important enzyme inhibitors. The common key intermediate of these compounds, 4-chloro-6-substituted phenyl pyrimidine, was synthesised by conventional methods without the application of special catalysts in contrary to the published methods. Here we present two different synthetic procedures for the preparation of the title compound. The results of these processes depend on the substituent of the 6-phenyl ring as it is demonstrated on the presented examples. The reactions can be performed via traditional heating either with microwave assistance.

Nomenclature of Aromatic Compounds with Multiple Substituents
For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
